Rosa Feola sings Gilda’s Act I aria in the New Year’s Eve gala premiere of Bartlett Sher’s new production. Conductor: Daniele Rustioni. 2021-22 season. Videography by Pete Scalzitti.
Such a tender and joyful rendition of this aria, just lovely. I don't know what kind of setting they went for in this production, but I wish they gave Rosa a different outfit. It's like she' playing a middle-aged accountant here :D
Listened to the radio broadcast on New Year's Eve. In my opinion hers was the best vocal performance at the Met in the past few years. She was that good.
@@LordMgls Yeah, that ain't the best, but her "Tutte le feste", acuti in the storm sequence, and pianissimi in the final duet were all fantastic on the broadcast. There hasn't been a Gilda this good at the Met in ages.
I first sang this aria at 9 years old! But without words as I didn't know Italian and couldn't read it. I know I couldn't do it today as well as I did at 9. But it introduced me to opera!
I looked up this song doing research on musical savants (geniuses). Harriet was her name she hummed this song with perfect pitch and tempo when she was 7 months old!
Annoying camera work. Unnecessary, aimless cuts, pointless zoom-in-and-outs, useless continuous camera movements, all very distracting and annoying. Why do they try to create an MTV style fast videoclip out of this slow, beautiful, lovely singing? Her voice and the rendition are both beautiful.
Great voice, although flat at times and there is a disturbing and very unfortunate wobble in the top notes, thankfully not too wide but worrying for a very young singer … the orchestra is way too slow!
The voice is nice, but totally unsuitable to this role. She is too light and doesn't have the range for it, nor the coloratura. There's many pitch issues throughout, but the cadenza is embarrassing; she's far from the D# that she intended to sing. It's nothing new here, she's the soubrette number 200001 that sings Gilda.
@@ritapapiri , ho letto che la nostra si produrra' al Met in Nozze di Figaro, Traviata e...Fedora...la Callas nulla e'..al Met ha cantato cose a paragone meno impegnative..saranno pacchetti di Pasqua? Io vedo però sempre Quaresima.
@@fabriziogarzi9892 ambizioso programma...potrebbe fare anche Medea e Norma...non mi stupisco più di niente..In ogni caso la coloratura è brutta.... l'intonazione è periclitante e la cadenza...È una soubrette molto in affanno...forse dovrebbe cantare l'operetta. Mi dispiace..l'avevo sentita come Norina nel Don Pasquale ed era dignitosa..insomma..Mi dispiace per il Met..a ciascuno le sue croci.
She was delivering 110% at the performance today!! Was totally blown away.

The setting is supposed to be in Berlin during the Weimar Republic prior to WWII.
@@jjlungdoc7472 Yes. But poor Gilda looks like she works for the Berlin DMV. Everyone else is exquisitely costumed.
@@bobbymcgnyc Agree. I was just replying to another viewer who was asking about the setting.
@@bobbymcgnyc underrated comment, this
True

3:44 is all i have to say
@@LordMgls Seriously. If you don't have the top D#, Verdi didn't write it anyway. Why use a cadenza you can't sing?
@@LordMgls Yeah, that ain't the best, but her "Tutte le feste", acuti in the storm sequence, and pianissimi in the final duet were all fantastic on the broadcast. There hasn't been a Gilda this good at the Met in ages.
@@ThomasDawkins88 you are so right. IMO Nadine Sierra was a much better Gilda. Am not saying Feola was bad.
Watched the live in HD Rigoletto from the Met and was transfixed by her singing and her portrayal of Gilda
Que beber vinho whisky amor queres
I love Rosa
Beautiful aria. Bravo 👏.
Wow 👏
Just saw her performed this Aria live last Thursday Nov 10, 2022 at MetOpera, she nailed it, she was amazing.

Sounds good, Diva!
I saw Rigoletto yesterday. This 900th performance of Rigoletto at MetOpera was amazing!!!
Mon Dieu, quelle voix !

Que performance maravilhosa!
Beautiful 👏👏
❤
Tão linda a performance de canto dela 🥰🥰🥰💞💞💞
Marvellous
아 소리 좋다.
Brava❤
The you tube trolls were let out of their cages.
Thanks, good … incidentally, thanks also for SUBTITLES…… even an Opera Nut appreciates the WORDS/a lot in my case,
Хорошо спела
Da cantante penso che in alcuni punti si arrivi male agli acuti ...ho sentito di meglio...e spero che si possa fare meglio ...studio studio studio...

Chest voice?!
Great voice, although flat at times and there is a disturbing and very unfortunate wobble in the top notes, thankfully not too wide but worrying for a very young singer … the orchestra is way too slow!
Not impressed, this is quite ordinary. The high notes aren’t developed and some are skipped altogether.
she could do lot better than this
Top notes quite thin.
Ruth Ann Swenson sang this better
